Before  you  use  the  RUBBER  PAINT  we  would 
offer  a few  practical  suggestions,  the  result  of 
many  years'  experience,  which,  if  attentively 
read,  and  closely  followed,  will  repay  you  in 
the  greater  wear  as  well  as  the  more  beautiful 
appearance  of  the  job.

Rule.— Multiply  the  distance  around  the  building  by 
the  average  height.  Dividing  this  by  nine  gives  the 
number  of  square  yards  to  be  painted.  This  divided 
again  by  twenty-five  (one  gallon  covering  twenty-five 
square  yards,  two  coats),  gives  the  number  of  gallons 
required  for  two  coats.  If  the  building  is  of  different 
heights,  find  the  surfaoe  of  each  part  separately,  and  add 
the  several  amounts  together. 

Note. — There  can  be  no  definite  rule  established  as 
to  the  amount  it  will  require.  Should  the  surface  be 
smooth  and  hard,  less  than  the  above  amount  will  be 
required ; if  rough  and  porous,  more.

Stir  the  paint  thoroughly,  before  using.  Let  the  first 
coat  get  thoroughly  dry  before  applying  the  second,  i 
Shonld  the  paint  become  too  thick  by  standing  open,  it 
may  be  thinned  with  boiled  Linseed  Oil,  except  for 
Inside  white,  for  which  use  Turpentine.  The  work 
should  be  thoroughly  dry  before  the  paint  is  applied, 
otherwise  the  wood  will  decay  and  the  paint  scale  off. 
Always  begin  at  the  top  in  painting,  and  work  down, 
taking  care  to  remove  all  dust  in  advance  of  your  work, 
and  oovering  all  knots,  pitchy  or  sappy  portions  of  the 
wood  with  shellac  varnish.

Gentlemen:— I have  handled  the  Rubber  Paint  since 
1873.  After  testing  it  many  times,  I claim  that  it  will 
wear  longer  than  any  white  lead  or  mixed  paint  in  the 
market.  JOHN  DOLL.

It  has  always  given  perfect  satisfaction.  I consider  it 
one  of  the  best  paints  made.  Yours  resp’y,

We,  the  undersigned,  have  used  your  Rubber  Paint, 
and  do  not  hesitate  to  recommend  it  to  our  neighbors ; 
we  think  it  “the  Best  Paint”  we  have  ever  used.  It  <ioes 
not  oraok  or  rub  off,  as  other  mixed  pain ts  do.  lt  holds 
its  glos9  well,  and  age  does  not  change  it.  We  would 
recommend  it  most  especially  for  white  work.

' > Syracuse  University, 

Syracuse,  N.  V.,  January,  1886. 

About  eight  years  since  on  building  my  house  I analyzed 
a large  number  of  samples  of  white  lead,  and  from  these 
seleoted  the  best  to  be  had,  with  which  I painted  a large 
part  of  the  house ; the  rest  I painted  with  “ Rubber 
Paint,”  after  analyzing  it  and  finding  it  contained  the 
rubber  for  which  it  is  named.  Five  years  since  I found 
the  “ pure  lead  and  oil  ” could  be  easily  rubbed  off,  and 
was,  in  fact,  being  washed  off  by  the  rains,  while  that  part 
of  the  building  painted  with  the  Rubber  Paint  was  as 
hard  and  glossy  as  it  was  throe  weeks  after  first  applying 
it.  I have  since  painted  the  whole  house  with  the  Rubber 
Paint.  I oan,  therefore,  from  both  analysis  and  practical 
test,  recommend  the  Rubber  Paint  in  strong  terms.

After  applying  the  first  coat — which  should  not  be  as 
thin  as  frequently  recommended,  simply  a wash,  but  a 
fair  coat  of  medium  thickness— lot  it  get  thoroughly  dry 
and  hard;  then  putty  all  seams,  nail  holes,  etc.,  smooth 
off  the  rough  places  and  apply  the  second  coat.  We  ad- 
vise puttying  after  priming,  as  it  will  adhere  more  firmly 
than  to  the  bare  wood. 

Tho  application  of  paint  in  extremely  cold  weather 
should  be  avoided.  The  most  serviceable  work  is  that 
done  after  the  freezing  weather  is  entirely  gone  in  the 
Spring,  and  before  its  return  in  the  Fall. 


Bradford,  Pa.,  March  3, 1886. 

“Robber  Paint  Co.” — Gentlemen:  During  the  six 
years  we  have  handled  your  Paint  we  have  sold  many 
thousands  of  gallons  and  have  found  it  all  you  represent 
it.  In  all  this  time  we  have  not  had  a purchaser  of  the 
Rubber  Paint  express  anything  but  praise  of  its  superior 
qualities,  and  we  will  continue  to  sell  it  so  long  as  you 
continue  to  keep  up  its  well-earned  reputation. 

Yours  truly,  L.  EMBRY,  Jr.  & Co. 


CAUTION. 

BE  NOT  DECEIVED,  but  see  that  our  TRADE 
MARK,  (a  fao-simile  of  which  is  on  the  first  pace  of  this 
book),  is  on  BACH  PACKAGE,  and  thereby  get  the

town  can  supply  you,  write  direct  to  us  for  prices  and
